Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha'

(garden) was the most beloved of his property, and it was situated opposite

the mosque (of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine

Verse were revealed: 'you will not attain righteousness till you spend in

charity of the things you love' (3.93), Abu Talha got up in front of

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and said, "O Allah's

Apostle! Allah says in His Book, 'You will not attain righteousness unless

you spend (in charity) that which you love,' and verily, the most beloved

to me of my property is Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and hope

for its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle! Spend it wherever you like."

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) appreciated that and said,

"That is perishable wealth, that is perishable wealth. I have heard what

you have said; I suggest you to distribute it among your relatives." Abu

Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Apostle." So, Abu Talha distributed it

among his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "That is a profitable wealth," instead

of "perishable wealth".

Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "There is none amongst

the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person

or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Whoever keeps a dog,

one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily, unless the dog

is used for guarding a farm or cattle." Abu Huraira (in another narration)

said from the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), "unless it is used

for guarding sheep or farms, or for hunting." Narrated Abu Hazim from Abu

Huraira: The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "A dog for

guarding cattle or for hunting."

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The people say that Abu Huraira narrates too many narrations. In fact Allah

knows whether I say the truth or not. They also ask, "Why do the emigrants

and the Ansar not narrate as he does?" In fact, my emigrant brethren were

busy trading in the markets, and my Ansar brethren were busy with their

properties. I was a poor man keeping the company of Allah's Apostle

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and was satisfied with what filled my

stomach. So, I used to be present while they (i.e. the emigrants and the

Ansar) were absent, and I used to remember while they forgot (the Hadith).

One day the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Whoever spreads

his sheet till I finish this statement of mine and then gathers it on his

chest, will never forget anything of my statement." So, I spread my

covering sheet which was the only garment I had, till the Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) finished his statement and then I gathered

it over my chest. By Him Who had sent him (i.e. Allah's Apostle) with the

truth, since then I did not forget even a single word of that statement of

his, until this day of mine. By Allah, but for two verses in Allah's Book,

I would never have related any narration (from the Prophet).

 

(These two verses are): "Verily! Those who conceal the clear signs and the

guidance which we have sent down .....(up to) the Merciful.' (2.159-160)

Narrated Sahl bin Sad (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who drank from it, while on his right side there was

sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his

left side there were old men. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

asked, "O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to

the old men?" The boy said, "O Allah's Apostle! I will not give preference

to anyone over me to drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So,

the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) gave it to him.

Narrated Az-Zuhri (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Anas bin Malik said, that once a domestic sheep was milked for Allah's

Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) while he was in the house of Anas

bin Malik. The milk was mixed with water drawn from the well in Anas's

house. A tumbler of it was presented to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam) who drank from it. Then Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side

and a bedouin on his right side. When the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) removed the tumbler from his mouth, 'Umar was afraid that the

Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) might give it to the bedouin, so he

said. "O Allah's Apostle! Give it to Abu Bakr who is sitting by your side."

But the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) gave it to the bedouin, who

was to his right and said, "You should start with the one on your right

side."

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "There are three

persons whom Allah will not look at on the Day of Resurrection, nor will he

purify them and theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are:

 

1. A man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from

travelers.

 

2. A man who gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for

worldly benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and

if the ruler withholds something from him, he gets dissatisfied.

 

3. And man displayed his goods for sale after the 'Asr prayer and he said,

'By Allah, except Whom None has the right to be worshipped, I have been

given so much for my goods,' and somebody believes him (and buys them)."

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) then recited: "Verily! Those who

purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths."

(3.77)

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "While a man was

walking he felt thirsty and went down a well and drank water from it. On

coming out of it, he saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive

thirst. The man said, 'This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as

that of mine. So he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water,

caught hold of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allah

thanked him for his (good) deed and forgave him." The people asked, "O

Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving (the) animals?" He

replied, "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate."

Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) prayed the eclipse prayer, and

then said, "Hell was displayed so close that I said, 'O my Lord ! Am I

going to be one of its inhabitants?"' Suddenly he saw a woman. I think he

said, who was being scratched by a cat. He said, "What is wrong with her?"

He was told, "She had imprisoned it (i.e. the cat) till it died of hunger."

 

Volume 3, Book 40, Number 552

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Keeping horses may be

a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of

earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be

a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for

holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He

will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the

pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or

two hills, then all its foot-steps and its dung will be counted as good

deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then

that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had

no intention of watering it then.

 

Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for

earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives

Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in

trading etc.,) and does not overburden them.

 

He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of

harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was asked about donkeys, he

replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding."

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

A man came to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and asked

about Al-Luqata (a fallen thing). The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said, "Recognize its container and its tying material and then make

a public announcement about it for one year and if its owner shows up, give

it to him; otherwise use it as you like." The man said, "What about a lost

sheep?" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "It is for you,

your brother or the wolf." The man said "What about a lost camel?" The

Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Why should you take it as it

has got its water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can reach

the places of water and can eat the trees till its owner finds it?"

Narrated Az-Zubair bin Al 'Awwam (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "No doubt, one had better

take a rope (and cut) and tie a bundle of wood and sell it whereby Allah

will keep his face away (from Hell-fire) rather than ask others who may

give him or not."

Narrated Abu Dhar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Once, while I was in the company of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam), he saw the mountain of Uhud and said, "I would not like to have

this mountain turned into gold for me unless nothing of it, not even a

single Dinar remains of it with me for more than three days (i.e. I will

spend all of it in Allah's Cause), except that Dinar which I will keep for

repaying debts." Then he said, "Those who are rich in this world would have

little reward in the Hereafter except those who spend their money here and

there (in Allah's Cause), and they are few in number." Then he ordered me

to stay at my place and went not far away. I heard a voice and intended to

go to him but I remembered his order, "Stay at your place till I return."

On his return I said, "O Allah's Apostle! (What was) that noise which I

heard?" He said, "Did you hear anything?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Gabriel

came and said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers dies, worshipping none

along with Allah, will enter Paradise.' " I said, "Even if he did

such-and-such things (i.e. even if he stole or committed illegal sexual

intercourse)" He said, "Yes."

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

A man demanded his debts from Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) in such a rude manner that the companions of the Prophet intended

to harm him, but the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Leave

him, no doubt, for he (the creditor) has the right to demand it (harshly).

Buy a camel and give it to him." They said, "The camel that is available is

older than the camel he demands." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said, "Buy it and give it to him, for the best among you are those

who repay their debts handsomely. "

I heard the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "Once a man died

and was asked, 'What did you use to say (or do) (in your life time)?' He

replied, 'I was a business-man and used to give time to the rich to repay

his debt and (used to) deduct part of the debt of the poor.' So he was

forgiven (his sins.)" Abu Masud said, "I heard the same (Hadith) from the

Prophet."

believers than their selves in this world and in the Hereafter, and if you

like, you can read Allah's Statement: "The Prophet is closer to the

believers than their own selves." (33.6) So, if a true believer dies and

leaves behind some property, it will be for his inheritors (from the

father's side), and if he leaves behind some debt to be paid or needy

offspring, then they should come to me as I am the guardian of the

deceased."

beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk,

disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).

Narrated Abdullah bin 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

I heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "Everyone of

you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his custody. The ruler is

a guardian of his subjects and responsible for them; a husband is a

guardian of his family and is responsible for it; a lady is a guardian of

her husband's house and is responsible for it, and a servant is a guardian

of his master's property and is responsible for it." I heard that from

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and I think that the Prophet

also said, "A man is a guardian of his father's property and is responsible

for it, so all of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and

things under your care."

Two persons, a Muslim and a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, "By Him Who

gave Moses superiority over all the people!" At that the Muslim raised his

hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and informed him of what had happened

between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him

about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do not give me superiority over Moses, for on the

Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious and I will be one

of them, but I will be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moses

standing and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know

whether (Moses) has also fallen unconscious and got up before me, or Allah

has exempted him from that stroke."

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Whoever takes a false

oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally) will meet Allah

while He will be angry with him." Al-Ash'ath said: By Allah, that saying

concerned me. I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my

ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof

of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Allah's

Apostle! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allah

revealed the following verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at

the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths." (3.77)
